This book was written by Behjat Henderson as a labor of love. She intended to capture the highlights of her life. Indeed, it was a romantic and moving story in which she and her husband met and fell in love. This part of her life, in Cyprus, Lebanon, Manhattan, and Iran, was both exciting and glamorous. There are so many stories that started out as cultural misunderstandings, but ended up humorous. It is often with hindsight that one can reflect upon what a magical time it was.
